When I lived in the U.S I was mistaken for:
Mexican (75% of the time)
Puerto Rican
Egyptian
Mixed (usually half black, half something else exotic)
and my all time favorite; ' One o' dem Iraqis'.
.
I am, in fact, of Indian descent.... And when I mentioned that, suddenly everybody was 1/16th cherokee..... Then I had to explain I was the OTHER kind of Indian....
It was tough, man...
I'm Salvadoran, I've been called Mexican, Ecuadorian, Vietnamese, Filipina, from the middle east, but my favorite happens to be when my university somehow got the conclusion I'm Thai (didn't realize until I saw my demographic information) based on how I looked like in my picture ID

I'm so sorry. I'm actually Puertorican and get confused for a Mexican quite often.
